Ukraine take on the visitors Ireland in the round 4 match in League B of Nations League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 14th at Stadion ŁKS (Łódź).
Ukraine gave a lot of recourses in the fight for a place at the World Cup. The Yellow-Blues failed to play the playoffs on time in March - the country had no time for football. And now the war has not gone away, but it was still necessary to carry out, it was impossible to pull further. And the wards of Alexander Petrakov looked convincing and dominated the field both in Glasgow, with Scotland, and with Cardiff, with Wales. But if the first ones won 3-1, but with the Welsh everything was decided by the only own goal by Yarmolenko. Next, the Ukrainians had to switch to the League of Nations. At the same time, they continued to roam Britain, playing with Ireland on June 8th. And, not without a bit of luck, they won in Dublin. Petrakov had to produce an experimental composition. But they not only did not concede, but also scored - although Tsygankov definitely made a cross from a free kick, and did not hit the goal. On Saturday they had to face with Armenia. But after Malinovsky's goal, it collapsed, and it all ended 3-0.

Ireland has done little to please their fans lately. Eire are still considered a tough nut to crack, which isn't surprising given how many players from the roster are or have been in the Premier League. But after Euro 2016, it was impossible to get anywhere, and if earlier the team lost in the playoffs, then in last year's qualification they took only 2 wins and 9 points in 8 fights. The wards of Stephen Kenny and the current League of Nations started unsuccessfully. On June 4, they lost in Yerevan to Armenia, failing to answer to the only goal of Spertsyan. The score was repeated at home with Ukraine. And, perhaps, Scotland on June 11th initially underestimated its neighbor. As a result, they got 2 goals in the first half hour and lost devastatingly, 3-0.
Last Wednesday, June 8th, the teams played against each other for the first time. Ukraine is now left without Pyatov, who has finally tied up, and Buschan and Stepanenko, who were injured earlier. But they are is in good shape, plus Yarmolenko should be back. We bet on the victory of the nominal home team.
Prediction for the match: Ukraine to win.
